Aoun Vows to Uproot Corruption: We are Waging a War to Liberate Lebanese Society
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun pledged on Monday to uproot corruption in Lebanon, stressing the importance of controlling public funds in the country.
He said: “We are waging a war to liberate Lebanese society from corruption.”
The MP made his remarks during the launching of a book, by the FPM, on lost public funds over the past few years.
Aoun added: “We have broken all the barriers and our dream will be achieved.”
“We have realized that controlling public funds is the most important aspect of governing,” he continued.
“We have long heard accusations about corrupt politicians and the ones who have come up with these claims are the thieves themselves,” he noted.
“We have demonstrated that honest people do in fact work for the sake of the state and citizens have the right to press charges against those who squander their funds,” he stressed.
Moreover, Aoun emphasized the need for holding those responsible for corruption accountable for their actions.
“We must advocate the culture of punishing those responsible as our society has been too forgiving,” the MP remarked.
